NTC week!

If you are on twitter you must be aware it is #NTCweek.  The challenge is two-a-days either via the app (which i am certain that by now, you are logging the minutes!;)), or by live sessions in major cities.  I do not live near any live sessions but I have been trying to participate virtually.  My working out has been very minimal since most of my free time has been spent finishing up the new studio.  We are at the end stages and I can actually help during this part, so i have been trying to do my part.  Even with this tight schedule, I have been able to fit in a workout at lunch and a 15 minute one in the evening.  It feels good to be doing SOMETHING.  Also, Karen Poole (@superwomankw) is hosting a challenge for january. #ntcjanuary14 is the hashtag, along with this week using the hashtag #NTCweek. There are PRIZES!! :)

Two points I wanted to make during this post:  one, use the NTC app.  It is so amazingly user friendly and there is a lot of variety.  The second is that even with super busy hectic schedules, you can eek out SOMETHING!!!  I work approximately 12 hours and am lucky if I have a lunch hour, yet I have been at least fitting in a quick 2 miler with Wrigley and a few ntc sessions.  I get it; sometimes after a long day you want to plop on the couch and zone out.  But if you haven't already done your workout, opt for a quick 15 minute NTC session, or a quick mile or two on the treadmill (hey you could still watch tv!).  Sometimes after you get your blood pumping you will be motivated to do more, but i guarantee you won't regret getting it done, but you will regret not doing it. 

Mid January Check in and a reminder to sieze every moment!

I am just curious as to how everyone is following their workout schedules?  Sticking to the plan?  How is the food logging?  Any progress yet?  If you have fallen off the wagon already, dust yourself off and get back on!  A bad morning doesn't have to follow you through the day and a bad day doesn't have to make for a bad week.  

I am following the NTC get lean advanced program and it has added running.  It is a very manageable amount of exercise to fit into my life right now.  The studio is about a week shy of completion which completely amazes and boggles my mind! I can't wait to post some pics!  I feel so fortunate that this is happening.  I have had this vision for years, and that it is becoming a reality still feels surreal.  I couldn't have done it without my Hubbee, his dad, and some amazing friends and obviously super clients!  Thank you!!!! 

We received some tragic news this weekend.  My husband's cousin was in a fatal car accident.  I can't imagine what his family is going through, his wife and his son who is barely a teenager, along with three adult sons and a new grand baby... It reduced my husband to sobs when it finally set in.  I know we hear all the time, that one never knows when their time is up.  Speak your truths and live each day to its capacity.  Don't procrastinate, especially when it comes to sharing your feelings with loved ones.  

How are you going to seize this day?
